During the 2016 US election campaign Donald Trump promised an end to pointless foreign wars and attacked “useless” and massively expensive new military equipment, like the $1.5 trillion Lockheed Martin F-35 stealth fighter.

His war on drugs, marred by the extra-judicial execution of drug users and peddlers, won him the title of “serial killer” on French television. More recently, his telling US President Obama to “go to hell” and his declaration of “separation” from the United States and “alignment”with China and Russia during a state visit to Beijing has alarmed and befuddled governments in the East Asian region.<p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://links.org.au/duterte-philippines-united-states-china-japan">read more</a></p>ChinaJapanPacificPhilippinesRodrigo DuterteUnited StatesWalden BelloSun, 30 Oct 2016 05:49:16 -0400fred4876 at http://links.org.auBRICS fantasies and unintended revelations: the wages of sub-imperial assimilationhttp://links.org.au/brics-summit-goa-india-brazil-russia-south-africa

September 23 — <i><a href="http://links.org.au">Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal</a></i> reposted from <a href="http://www.europe-solidaire.org/spip.php?article38971">Europe Solidaire Sans Frontières</a> — The 2016 LegCo election results show a strong call for change. Although politically and socially divided among themselves, it was the first time in Hong Kong history that five candidates ran for election advocating self-determination and were elected on this basis. If we take into consideration that a further two elected legislators proposed a weaker version of self-determination, then we must recognize that there is a sea change in Hong Kong’s political landscape. In total the candidates who ran on the platform of demanding for self-determination garnered 22.2% of the vote (including those who lost the election) – the vote here only means the regional direct election votes; it excludes the functional constituency vote and the super district board vote.<p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://links.org.au/hong-kong-legislative-council-election-results-voice-change-au-loong-yu">read more</a></p>ChinaHong KongWed, 21 Sep 2016 23:34:49 -0400fred4835 at http://links.org.auObama’s Africa policy – an expanding military footprint to grab resourceshttp://links.org.au/obama-africa-military-resources

By <strong>Stansfield Smith</strong></p>
<a href="http://links.org.au">Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal</a> -- A news article appeared at end of January - “Ecuador To Sell A Third Of Its Amazon Rainforest To Chinese Oil Companies” - and has resurfaced again and again on the internet. Posted on progressive websites such as Reader Supported News, Daily Kos, The PeoplesVoice.org and ThinkGlobalGreen.org, the story often comes with maps of the affected area, and includes pictures of indigenous peoples living peaceably with nature or protesting against oil drilling. </p>
Almost all these stories refer back to an article published three years ago, in March 2013, in the Australian online journal Business Insider:</p>
“Ecuador is planning to auction off three million of the country’s 8.1 million hectares of pristine Amazonian rainforest to Chinese oil companies, Jonathan Kaiman of The Guardian reports.” And, “Ecuador owed China more than $7 billion — more than a tenth of its GDP — as of last summer. In 2009 China began loaning Ecuador billions of dollars in exchange for oil shipments. It also helped fund two of the country’s biggest hydroelectric infrastructure projects, and China National Petroleum Corp may soon have a 30 per cent stake in a $10 billion oil refinery in Ecuador.”[1]</p><p><a href="http://links.org.au/node/4620">read more</a></p>ChinaEcuadorenvironmentIndigenous strugglesTue, 16 Feb 2016 20:08:58 -0500fred4620 at http://links.org.auChina's slowdown foreshadows global slowdownhttp://links.org.au/node/4554

<p>July 10, 2015 -- originally published by <a href="http://www.telesurtv.net/english/opinion/Is-BRICS-a-True-Alternative-20150709-0022.html">teleSUR English</a>, submitted to <a href="/node/4502" target="_blank"><i>Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal</i></a> by the
author -- The main point of the summit of leaders from Brazil, Russia, India, China
and South Africa this week was host Vladimir Putin’s demonstration of economic
autonomy, given how much Western sanctions and low oil prices keep biting
Russia. In part this sense of autonomy comes from nominal progress made on finally
launching the bloc’s two new financial institutions.</p>
<p>But can these new banks address the
extraordinary challenges in world finance? For example, more than 60% of Greeks
voting in last Sunday’s referendum opposed the neoliberal dictates of Brussels-Berlin-Washington,
thus raising hopes across Southern Europe and among victims of “odious debt” everywhere.
</p>
<p>Meanwhile, bubbly Shanghai and Shenzhen stock
markets were crashing by $3 trillion from peak levels in just 17 days, a
world-historic meltdown, at a time Chinese housing prices were also down 20%
over the prior year. Beijing’s emergency bail-out measures represent vast
subsidies to financiers, just like those used in Washington, London, Brussels
and Tokyo since 2007.</p><p><a href="http://links.org.au/node/4502">read more</a></p>AfricaBRICSChinaIndiaPatrick BondRussiaSouth AfricaFri, 10 Jul 2015 06:35:07 -0400normd4502 at http://links.org.auJohn Bellamy Foster: Is China building an 'ecological civilisation'?http://links.org.au/node/4464

While we condemn China's aggressive bullying tactics, we firmly believe that the government must take immediate steps towards a negotiated political settlement to this long-running dispute.

Seen
by some as historic, taking the words of US President Barack Obama and not putting
them into perspective. On November 12, the media and
commentators welcomed almost unanimously the joint US-China
announcement on greenhouse gas emissions. But what is it really?
</p><p>On November 12, Barack Obama and
China's President Xi Jinping announced their targets for cuts to their greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions. The US announced a 26-28% reduction by 2025 compared to
2005 levels. While China envisages a peak in its GHG emissions around
2030, or if possible before.</p>

22, with around 10,000 university and college students congregating on
the Chinese University of Hong Kong campus for speeches and lectures on civil disobedience. Moving across town to a sit-in on
September 24 in front of the main Hong Kong government buildings
in the district of Admiralty, by the night of September 29
it had morphed into an unprecedented occupation of four major districts in Hong
Kong involving at least 80,000 people, predominantly students. </p><p><a href="http://links.org.au/node/4082">read more</a></p>AsiaChinaCommunist Party of ChinaHong KongOccupy Wall StreetSocialist Project (Canada)Wed, 01 Oct 2014 22:43:17 -0400normd4082 at http://links.org.auClimate and collusion: 'The window to halt runaway climate change is closing fast'http://links.org.au/node/4035

strike, impelled by low wages as low as US$2 an hour.</p>

strikers’ economic demands. The typical wage is minimum wage, but
overtime and the mandatory social insurances are often not properly
